I really, really need to get out of the apartment this weekend. Preferably something that would force me to socialize. Suggestions?
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We could go do something fun on Sunday before 2 and after 7 or so

Anyone seen the icky story about the twins floating around in the news today? Am I the only one detecting more than a whiff of "this guy my cousin knows once knew this girl who..." about it?

Yup. Not that I'm doubting that such a thing could happen, but this particular instance fails the sniff test for all the press it's getting.

My induction in the early am led to a baby at about 3 in the afternoon.
Heh. My induction on Saturday led to a baby on Tuesday.
Weekend:
Tonight - go home, filled with relief that week is over. Order pizza w/ chicken & rosemary potatoes for dinner.
Saturday - haircut, lunch at place that's rumored to have chicken-fried steak that might meet DH's and my exacting Okie and Dixie standards.
Sunday - sing solo in choir at church, that is, if I don't faint from stage fright because 250 people or so per service are listening to me, just me, after which I shall kick myself around a bit, flail in self-consciousness at how reedy my voice sounds in the top half of my secure range, and vow never to sing solos again.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I bet you'll be great, Susan.

Our wings are not tired.
It is really wonderful that you are burying the fright to sing this solo, Susan. Is this the first time doing a solo? If so it will be easier next time. It is such an honor.

I haven't sung a solo since I was 18 or so.
And I'm not sure it counts as an honor when I volunteered to do it! I wanted to try it because it's a roots/Southern gospel piece ("Down to the River to Pray"). I figured I'm the only Southerner in the choir, I grew up on music like that in church, etc. Only I don't think I sound Southern when I sing it. Just squeaky, full of stage fright, and wishing the thing was written in A or B instead of D.
